Game wont launch:

[DimeWeld]

No idea why. Just deleted it and reinstalling now. Hope it works, I am bummed out. If that does work, what should I be looking out for?

Wouldn't launch for me either. Tried various fixes (including those posted on here) I've had to submit a ticket to the Devs.

[Złomiarz]

Yep, i cant launch it too...

[DimeWeld]

You keep hitting play and nothing happens right? It loads for a split second and then stops???

Also can't launch the game. The error message I get is

I hit play then it loads for a split second and crashes

Hey I found a solution for this that worked for me in another thread

3. Navigate to C:\Users\+Username+\Documents\dying light 2\out\settings and open 'video.scr' (make a backup just in case)

4. In the bottom half of the document you find 'RendererMode("d3d12")' -> change it to "d3d11"

If you can't open the notepad file download notepad++ and use that to edit the file, dont forget to save after

Honestly i'd just refund the game and go play DL1 given it is vastly superior to DL2

Tried this, didn't work for me as it was already on DX11. It seemed to work for others though

You need to open the video.scr file via "notepad". Make sure when you open it through notepad that you select "all files" otherwise it won't work. For me, the DX11 setting was already there, so wasn't a relative fix unfortunately.

Make sure your game is not set to launch as Administrator. I had the same issue. Once I unchecked the "Run As Administrator" check mark on the games .EXE file it launched fine. I re-tested this by checking the box again and the same issue happened. Not sure if that will help you but I know it worked for me and others.

I had original set the .EXE file to run as administrator because i was having crashing issue. I have noticed after the patch even without administrator checked I no longer have those crashing issues.

Yeah, I took off the "run as administrator" and I stopped getting the error message.....however, the game STILL crashes at startup. Got a reply from the Devs but so far, no dice on their suggested fixes either.
Was hoping the hotfix patch released today would sort it out.....but alas, I'm still stuck in the same situation.

For me it stopped working after I tried different upscale methods (especially XeSS), so I had to modify the config by resetting the following:

Upscaler(0)
